A gravel pocket beach at Ocean View Boulevard and Coral Street in Pacific Grove, near Point Pinos. Beyond the eelgrass-covered boulders of the shallows, the bottom forms a sawtooth pattern of rocky ridges and sand channels running parallel to shore, rich with invertebrate life and coralline algae. The shallow rocky approach makes it a high-tide dive, and it is more exposed than the sites inside Monterey Bay.
